irene Jerome.

From Ncp York Letter 20 Boston Globe, oct l6.
I became so much interested in a series
of gift books published by Lee & Shepard
of your city, from the unique pen of Irene
Z Jerome, that | yentured to inquire who
and what hammered person the young ar
tiste might be. She has gifts, aud no mere
napkin holds them. That she loves ma
lures kindiest Developments is evinced in
every stroke Of her pen.
Some weeks since | gave Nelly Bly,, who
was made famous by her insane girls story
in the world, letters of introduction to sun
dry chief editors here She interviewed
them as 20 the fitness of women for journal
istic work, when forthwith they one and
all began to make excuses, and proved to
their own satisfaction that woman is not
wanted in journalism, whereupon the bright
eyed damsel went TO work and beat them in
their own field.
Aud so with Miss Jerome, whom | don't
know from Eve, wanted or not wanted, she
has come to stay. Her cone Years Sketch
book, -" Bunch of Violets, " Natures Hal
lelutah," and Message of the Bluebird"
are a quartet of natural photography full of
harmony, rcdolent with truth, indescribably
squared with facts as they present them
selves in forest and in glade, in garden and
in stream, on leafy bough and sun capped
hill
understand she is the daughter of the
late Charles Jerome, a Presbyterian clergy
man, who died several years ago in New
York State, where she was born and grew
to young womanhood. She received her
education from Clinton and Cazenovia SEM
iuaries, largely supplemented by home in
aueuce. a good library and intelligent
friends
In 1875 she went fresh from school to
Chicago. where three months of her first
year were given to drawing from casts in
the Academy of Design. With this excep-
ton of these three months, she is self
taught in her art. From May until Octo-
Der for the last three years she has devoted
herself to outdoor work
In 1872 she visited Colorado and passed
a great deal of time is Este Park and Man
itou On her return she exhibited IS of the
choicest of her sketches of Colorado seen
cry and wild flowers, and was somewhat
surprised, within a short time, at being Of
fercd by artists and others who appreciated
her work a much larger sum for them than
she had expected in connection with their
value. During the whole of the last two
summers she has worked amid the beauti
ful scenery of New England.
Miss Jerome has the quiet determination
and spirit of one who feels that the object
of life is to grow, and it is wonderful to
note how quick she casts aside the obstacles
that arise in the way of her onward march
She possesses great fertility of fancy and
an exuberant sense of the beauty Of out
ward objects, but more especially marked
Is the Intelligent fidelity with which she
absolutely reproduces her loves OF field and
farm of wood and stream
The books as published by Lee x She
pard are gems of art fiji to adorn the table
of any lover of fine art.
